Jaylen Waddle Dealing with an Injury

Sunday, August 10, 7:15 PM

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (undisclosed) was held out of Sunday's preseason matchup against the Chicago Bears. Head coach Mike McDaniel said Waddle suffered a minor injury during a joint practice with the Bears on Friday. He continued by saying he didn't want any of his starters playing through injuries. It's unclear what is going on with Waddle, but for now fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day. Fantasy managers should get more updates on his status throughout the week.

Matthew Golden Showcasing Pass-Catching Chops

Monday, August 11, 3:44 PM

Andy Herman of 105.7 The Fan, Milwaukee, notes that Green Bay Packers wide receiver Matthew Golden made a few highlight receptions in Monday's practice, catching difficult passes "with ease." The former Texas Longhorn has garnered a good amount of praise during the lead-up to the regular season, and the news of fellow wideout Jayden Reed's (foot) injury makes this wide receiver room that much more up for grabs. The rookie offers Green Bay an explosive, field-flipping element they've desired for some time now. If he can seize his opportunity early on, Golden should be in store for a useful fantasy season. He's going just inside the top 100 currently in drafts, slotted directly in front of Reed at No. 98 in overall ADP. That disparity will grow if the latter's ailment lingers.
